From: ofiras on 1 Apr 2010 08:43 Hi, I have made a program in C#, but most of my clients doesn't have .NET installed on their computer. I would like to make it easy for them to install my program so I want to create an installation that will automatically check if .NET is installed, and if not, it will install .NET (also automatically), and only then install my program. How can I do it? Please help, Ofir.
From: Wilson, Phil on 1 Apr 2010 14:11 That's what Setup&Deployment Projects do, as well as most 3rd party tools that build MSI files and supply a bootstrap to install prerequisites then launch the MSI file install. ClickOnce might be an option too. -- Phil Wilson The Definitive Guide to Windows Installer http://www.apress.com/book/view/1590592972 "ofiras" <ofiasu(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:1948d330-68cb-4782-8ea1-cf138aa6517c(a)x12g2000yqx.googlegroups.com... > Hi, > I have made a program in C#, but most of my clients doesn't have .NET > installed on their computer.
